Michael Cohen Claimed He Didn’t Want WH Position—Past Reports Suggest Otherwise

Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Donald Trump, claimed during his congressional testimony Wednesday that he never wanted to work in the White House, despite reports to the contrary. “I was extremely proud to be the personal attorney to the president of the United States of America. I did not want to go to the White House,” Cohen told the House Oversight Committee. “I can tell you a story of Mr. Trump reaming out [former Chief of Staff] Reince Priebus because I had not taken a job when Mr. Trump wanted me to, working with Don McGahn at the White House General Counsel’s office.”

CNN’s Dana Bash called Cohen’s claim a “potential problem,” explaining that per her reporting, “he very much wanted a job in the White House.” A panel of multiple other reporters on the network all agreed with Bash’s assessment of Cohen’s White House ambitions, and anchor Jake Tapper said Cohen’s claim caused his panel to raise their eyebrows “because we knew it to not be true.”

The president’s family also weighed in on Cohen’s testimony, with Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. saying that Cohen desperately wanted to be the administration’s chief of staff. “It was the biggest joke in the campaign and around the office,” Eric Trump tweeted. “It really was the biggest joke of the entire transition,” Donald Trump Jr. agreed. “The beginning of his bitterness was when he realized that was never going to happen.” GOP operative Arthur Schwartz even claimed that Cohen complained to him “on numerous occasions” about never being offered a job in the White House.

The Daily Beast also reported in July 2018 that Cohen was privately bragging to friends that he was expected to be named chief of staff when Trump took office. “He had left his senior position at the Trump Organization shortly after the election, expecting a coveted appointment in the new administration (he had told friends that he even expected to be named chief of staff), only to see President Trump pass him over for any White House post,” the Beast reported.

Socialist-led #RedForEd Movement Aims to Reinvigorate Labor and Defeat Trump

An aggressive new public schoolteacher-based political movement with radical policy goals and socialist backing is helping organized labor conduct educators’ strikes in battleground states that President Trump needs to win in 2020 to stay in office. Protesters who are part of the #RedForEd movement are demanding, among other things, teacher salary increases and smaller classroom sizes, and ending taxpayer support for charter schools and private school vouchers. The #RedForEd movement was a major player in what left-wing activist Lois Weiner, education professor at New Jersey City University and director of its Urban Education and Teacher Unionism Policy Project, called education spring in the socialist magazine New Politics.

In February 2018, teachers launched labor actions in Virginia and West Virginia. In April they followed suit in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. In May North Carolina was hit. “Like the Arab Spring” of 2011, the U.S. “education Spring” last year “was an explosive wave of protests,” Weiner wrote. “State-wide teacher walkouts seemed to arise out of nowhere, organized in Facebook groups, with demands for increased school funding and political voice for teachers.” In the far-left Jacobin magazine, Weiner wrote in January that the “energy of the ‘Red for Ed’ teacher walkouts last spring in West Virginia, Arizona, Oklahoma, and elsewhere was channeled into electoral activity by both the AFT [American Federation of Teachers] and NEA [National Education Association], with an unrelenting refrain that achieving the demands that had led angry teachers in those states to strike could only be made by electing friendly politicians.”

Matt Patterson, executive director of Free California, a new Los Angeles-based nonprofit helping Golden State conservatives organize and counter-organize, said Big Labor is putting big resources into promoting the #RedForEd movement. “#RedForEd is part of a national strategy by union leadership to counter the effects of last year’s Janus v. AFSCME decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, which ended their ability to forcibly extract dues and fees from non-members in the public sector. To offset those financial losses, union leaders have responded by aggressively organizing new workplaces, jacking up dues on existing members, and, as in #RedForEd, launching and threatening strikes to extract greater concessions from school districts. “And it seems to be working: Public-sector unions have lost a minuscule number of members since Janus. In fact, in some states they have actually grown in membership and money.”

Billionaire equity firm owner John Childs wanted on prostitution charge

Billionaire equity firm owner John Childs is one of several men accused of soliciting prostitution in connection with a Florida spa tied to an international human trafficking ring, police said Thursday.

Childs, who lives seasonally in Indian River Shores, is wanted on a solicitation of prostitution charge, according to a warrant for his arrest. He has not been arrested.

Childs owns J.W. Childs Associates, a private equity firm based in Massachusetts.

He's a prominent donor to several Republican politicians and groups, including former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan, Club for Growth and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

He donated about $4.3 million to Republican candidates and PACs last cycle, according to a review of federal campaign finance records.

"He can no longer, with a clear conscience, continue to lead this nation", Scheer told reporters, cited by Reuters, calling for police to immediately probe the case.

U.S. trade chief sees long-term China challenges, continued tariff threat

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will need to maintain the threat of tariffs on Chinese goods for years even if Washington and Beijing strike a deal to end a costly tariff war, President Donald Trump's chief trade negotiator told lawmakers on Wednesday.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer cautioned that much work was still needed to nail down a U.S.-China trade agreement, including working out how it will be enforced.

"If we can complete this effort - and again I say if … we might be able to have an agreement that helps us turn the corner in our economic relationship with China," Lighthizer said in testimony to the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee.

The two countries have imposed tit-for-tat tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of each others' goods, roiling financial markets, disrupting manufacturing supply chains and shrinking U.S. farm exports.

Lighthizer said USTR was taking legal steps to implement Trump's decision on Sunday to delay a tariff increase on more than $200 billion worth of Chinese goods that had been scheduled for Friday.

But USTR later clarified in a statement that it was not abandoning the threat of increasing the tariffs to 25 percent from 10 percent. It said a Federal Register notice would be published this week that would suspend the increase "until further notice."

Lighthizer detailed a long road ahead to resolve U.S. China trade issues, and said that tariffs would remain an important tool to push China to make structural policy changes sought by Trump and lawmakers.

The House Just Passed A "Sweeping" Gun Control Bill. Tomorrow They Vote On Another

Today, gun-grabbers in the House of Representatives held their first major vote on gun control legislation in years.

They voted to pass H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, which would require background checks for all firearm sales, including private transactions and purchases made online and at gun shows. Currently, only federally licensed firearms dealers, importers, and manufacturers are required to conduct background checks on customers under federal law. Twenty states and D.C. have already expanded background checks to include at least some private sales. The bill was described by NPRas “sweeping.”

H.R. 8 also prohibits firearms transfers by a person who is not a licensed dealer. However, it does exclude gifts to family members and transfers for hunting, target shooting, and self-defense. A temporary transfer of a gun can also take place in situations where it’s “necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm.”

This is just another proposed gun control measure that won’t do anything to stop crime.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) wrote that H.R. 8 would impose so-called “universal” background checks, but the legislation “doesn’t address how criminals actually acquire their firearms”. In addition, it “creates traps for law-abiding gun owners, and it’s been proven not to work,” the gun rights organization explains.

Some Republicans, including Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., argue that the universal background check bill wouldn’t have prevented the school shooting in Parkland, Florida last year, noting that the shooter passed a background check. It also wouldn’t have stopped the Texas church shooting because the military didn’t report the shooter when they should have.

The bill passed largely along party lines (240 to 190). Eight votes in favor came from Republicans.

H.R. 8 had 232 co-sponsors. Five are Republicans: Peter King, of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Fred Upton of Michigan, Brian Mast of Florida, and Chris Smith of New Jersey.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on another gun control bill.

H.R. 1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019, will be voted on by the House tomorrow – the 25th anniversary of the day the Brady Act, which mandated federal background checks, went into effect.

H.R. 1112 has 15 co-sponsors, only one of which is a Republican – Rep. Peter King of New York.

That bill would extend the amount of time firearms dealers must wait for a response from the background check system before the sale can proceed to 20 days. Currently, they can make the sale if they haven’t received a response in three days.

According to the NRA, H.R. 8 is “bad”, but “H.R. 1112 is worse”:

Under that bill, gun sales from licensed dealers would be subject to the discretion of federal officials. Through either malice or incompetence, the legislation creates an unworkable system where gun buyers could be placed in an endless loop of background checks and would never actually receive the firearms they wish to purchase.

Lynne Patton (Facebook Post 1 of 2)

January 18 ·

Dear Haters:

Since so many of you are asking, I am only going to say this ONCE, so please pay attention before any of you start breaking out the champagne:

1) I will be the first to concede that IF actual physical evidence exists that the President directly instructed Cohen to lie to Congress then, yes, it would be the ONLY accusation made against POTUS over the past three years that would worry me. Otherwise, it remains the word of one person over another with ZERO evidence. Period. One of whom is going to jail for perjury & fraud.

2) More notably, it should be known that Donald Trump does not use email and never has. Nor (up until his inauguration at least) does he text. Therefore, the likelihood of some “smoking gun” email or text is slim to none. It should also be known that any/all visitors to the West Wing must check their cell phones upon entry in a secure locker before meeting with the President. Omarosa was not a visitor.

3) Many of you may already know that I considered Michael Cohen to be one of my very best friends. Countless people can confirm that we were virtually inseparable during my employment at Trump - and that he is, single-handedly - responsible for introducing me to the Trump family and effectively changing my entire life. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that my heart still breaks for him and for his family, with whom I had grown extremely close.

4) What many of you may not be aware of is the fact that I can personally confirm that the ONLY reason Michael Cohen “turned on” the President of the United States is because Mueller threatened to throw his wife in jail for up to 30 years. Period. She is the co-guarantor of a $20M personal loan that Mueller discovered Michael secured back in 2015 by falsely inflating the value of his taxi medallions - effectively making her part & parcel to the federal charge of “Making False Statements to a Financial Institution,” to which Cohen ultimately plead guilty. This is also the reason why Cohen’s longtime taxi medallion partner, Evgeny “Gene” Freidman, was granted immunity.

Warning Shot? Amazon Pulls Out Of Seattle Office Tower At Center Of Homeless Tax Debate

According to a report published by GeekWire, which managed to obtain a copy of a marketing flier circulated by the company, Amazon is seeking to sublet 30 floors of office space in a new building in Rainer Square - which is still under construction.

A marketing flier obtained by GeekWire confirms that the tech giant is seeking new tenants for its office space in Rainier Square, a building under construction that will one day be the city’s second-tallest skyscraper. Amazon had leased all 30 floors of office space in the building. After weeks of rumors, the listing was made official over the weekend, according to real estate brokers familiar with the marketing efforts. Amazon will make all of the office space it leased in Rainier Square available to other companies.

Amazon's decision to pull out of the tower, which comes after the Seattle City Council backed down from plans to impose a new headcount tax - intended to provide more resources for homelessness - after the company threatened not to move into Rainer Square, is "emblematic" of the company's "uncertain future" in its hometown.

Now, it appears Amazon is making good on that threat, despite having beat back the tax.

The skyscraper project, once an emblem of Amazon’s ambitions in Seattle’s urban core, now becomes a symbol of its uncertain future in its hometown. The move follows Amazon’s decision to back out of its HQ2 project in New York City after opposition there, amid signs that the company will focus its Seattle-area growth in nearby Bellevue, Wash.

Amazon did not immediately respond to GeekWire’s request to comment on the news. Real estate company JLL is listing the space on the company’s behalf, according to the flier.

A source told GeekWire that Apple, Oracle and Dropbox are all "circling", and have expressed interest in renting space at the tower, which is located at 4th and Union Street.

While Amazon's motives in subleasing the space are unclear, it's worth noting that several Seattle City Council members recently traveled to New York City to warn activists about the downside of hosting Amazon in your backyard.

MS-13 members planning to target city cops: NYPD

The NYPD has received information that members of MS-13 are “looking to ‘hit'” police officers who live in certain parts of Long Island to enhance their credibility within the gang, The Post has learned.

In a memo released Tuesday, authorities from the police department’s 105th Precinct warned officers that the department has received “threats against [members of service]” who live in Brentwood and Central Islip, both hamlets in the Suffolk County town of Islip, as well as Patchogue.

“Intel has been obtained that members of MS13 are looking to ‘hit’ NYPD police officers, specifically in the Brentwood/Central Islip area, as well as possibly Patchogue in order to gain street credibility,” according to the memo. “These members are conducting reconnaissance of [member of service] private residences.”

The memo goes on to explain that police officers should “always be cognizant” and alert, should change their routine, keep an eye out for any strange vehicles and, if they do see anything unusual, make note of it.

Trudeau's Position as Canadian PM in Jeopardy - Liberal Party Chaos

Jody Wilson-Raybould’s testimony was so much worse than the opposition could have hoped, or the government might have feared. Justin Trudeau has been hoist by his own petard, and it may cost him his job.

Trudeau appointed as justice minister someone who said she is a “truth-teller,” an Indigenous person who said she has witnessed the consequences of the rule of law not being respected.

He appointed her and then he tried to make her complicit in running roughshod over that law.

If she is to be believed — and her testimony was convincing enough that it is likely she had public opinion in her pocket very early on — when she refused to play along he applied, in her words, “inappropriate political pressure.” When she still failed to bend to his will, he removed her from her position as justice minister.

If he thought she would respond to the “veiled threats” levelled against her, he clearly misread his woman.

If you were watching Wilson-Raybould’s appearance Wednesday afternoon, that cracking sound you heard was Liberal Party unity breaking up. The former attorney general remains a member of the Liberal caucus, and a candidate at the next election. But it is a malignant fidelity. Her testimony has done more harm to her party’s chances of re-election than anything achieved by a hapless opposition. It seems hard to see how she can continue to sit as a Liberal member, far less run again.

Federal judge rules there is no widespread voter fraud in Texas

A federal judge is ordering officials in Texas to stop removing people from its voter registration rolls after declaring that the state has not seen widespread voter fraud.

U.S. District Judge Fred Biery made the order in a Wednesday ruling, stating that Texas had made a "mess" after the secretary of state's office flagged about 95,000 individuals for a citizenship status review, according to NBC News.

Biery told officials from the 18 counties named as defendants that they could not remove people from the rolls without the court's approval. He also ordered acting Texas Secretary of State David Whitley to advise officials in Texas's remaining 254 counties not to remove voters from their rolls without court approval.

Biery's ruling comes just over a month after Whitley's office announced that it had identified approximately 95,000 suspected ineligible voters. The office said at the time that 58,000 of those voters had cast a ballot in at least one election since 1996.

Susan Collins to vote 'no' on Trump EPA nominee Andrew Wheeler

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins says she’ll vote against President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Maine Republican said Wednesday she has “too many concerns with the actions” Andrew Wheeler has taken as acting EPA administrator.

Collins said she met with the former coal lobbyist to discuss the EPA’s enforcement of landmark environmental laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mercury pollution.

But she said that since last August the EPA has proposed replacing the Clean Power Plan and halting efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks. She also said the EPA determined it’s not necessary to regulate mercury emissions from power plants.

She said reducing pollution is of great importance to Maine, both for people’s health and to reduce greenhouse emissions.

With Oil, Water and Iran as Targets, US on Brink of Recognizing Israeli Sovereignty Over Golan Heights

Israel is now pushing for the U.S. to recognize its sovereignty over the Golan for fear of losing it completely, even though such recognition could result in an all-out war between Israel and Syria, as well as with Syrian allies such as Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

WASHINGTON — A new bill recently introduced in the Senate, along with its companion bill in the House, would result in the United States government recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over Syria’s Golan Heights, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967. The territory was later annexed in 1981, but the international community — including the United States — has not recognized Israel’s claim to the Syrian territory.

In addition, the bill would also promote the U.S. conducting “joint projects” with Israel in the Golan, including “industrial research and development.” This is sure to result in joint U.S.-Israeli efforts to extract the large oil reserves recently discovered in the Golan Heights, as the rights to extract that oil were granted to the joint U.S.-Israeli venture Genie Energy soon after its discovery was made public.

The move to introduce legislation regarding the contested territory has been hinted at for months by top Israeli officials, especially following the decision of the Trump administration to unilaterally recognize the city of Jerusalem as belonging exclusively to Israel and as being that country’s capital.

I then looked a bit further into the security aspect of IP3’s proposals.

George H.W. Bush’s former service dog starts new position at military hospital

Former President George H.W. Bush's service dog started his new position with the U.S. Navy on Wednesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Sully, a yellow Labrador, was appointed to the rank of hospital corpsman second class during a ceremony at the hospital in Bethesda, Md.

The pooch even participated in an oath of enlistment.

"Do you affirm or pant as a hospital corpsman in the United States Navy that you will support, comfort and cure warriors and their families, active duty and retired?” a spokesperson asked during the ceremony.

“That you embrace our staff and bear unconditional love and solace, especially on busy days? That you take this obligation freely, without any promise of treats or tummy rubs and that you will faithfully discharge the duties to provide joy, love and nurturing for our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and sailors and their families?" they added.

Sully joined with other facility dogs at Walter Reed Bethesda, who work with veterans to reduce stress and increase well-being among patients.

The service dog made headlines and captured hearts last year after the dog accompanied Bush's casket as it was flown to Washington, D.C., for memorial services.

Sully, a highly-trained service dog who worked with Bush starting in the summer of 2018, is named after famed pilot and Air Force veteran Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.

The two met for the first time earlier this month.

The dog’s trainer, Valerie Cramer, told “Today” that it was essential for Bush that Sully return to working with veterans.

"It was very important to President Bush that Sully carry on serving veterans, so he chose that Sully wouldn't work for one individual person, but that he would serve many veterans, and the hospital setting is the perfect environment for that,'' Cramer said.

Notable: Feds aim to end vax exemptions.

Feds Aim to End Vax Exemptions

Some federal officials think vaccine exemptions are used too widely and want Congress to eliminate your right to choose! Action Alert!

In response to several measles outbreaks that have been reported across the US by the CDC, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee is planning to meet on March 5 to discuss vaccine-preventable diseases and efforts to boost vaccination rates and fight vaccine hesitancy. A House subcommittee is holding a similar hearing next week. Ahead of these hearings, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has warned states offering vaccine exemptions that the federal government may intervene. This attack on exemptions is unprecedented. We must ensure that Congressional members are properly educated about the numerous safety issues that have been demonstrated. We must also respond in force to protect vaccine exemptions from federal interference.

We should say at the outset that to want safer vaccines is not “anti-vax.” Reasonable people can ask reasonable questions about vaccination—indeed, we must ask these questions given the risks that are involved. For example, why must vaccines contain dangerous neurotoxins such as aluminum, formaldehyde, and even mercury? When the government pays out billions of dollars over the years to families damaged by vaccines (see more on this below), we have a right to call for safer vaccines. Such sentiments are not “anti-vax,” but rather pro-safer vaccination.

Commissioner Gottlieb made a number of alarming remarks about exemptions. He said that states might “force the hand of the federal health agencies” if they continue to allow vaccine exemptions amid disease outbreaks, and that he was “deeply skeptical” of exemptions that are not for medical reasons. Gottlieb speculated that the federal government “could mandate certain rules about what is and isn’t permissible when it comes to allowing people to have exemptions.”

It is deeply concerning that the head of the FDA appears so willing to trample the rights of individuals and to supersede state authority. Under the Constitution, the US government has the authority to use police power to prevent those with serious communicable diseases from entering the US or transmitting disease across state borders. Established legal precedents dating back to the early 20th century, however, leave vaccine and school admission policies up to the states, so if the federal government tried to interfere there would be strong grounds for a Constitutional challenge. The danger is that the federal government could, perhaps, indirectly influence states to abandon non-medical exemptions through revoking funding for projects or other such means. If we care about states’ rights and individual rights, we must vehemently oppose Gottlieb’s insinuations.

The assumption, of course, is that unvaccinated children contract a disease and spread it to other children who may or may not have been vaccinated. As we’ve pointed out in past instances of measles outbreaks, this is simply false. Experts found in 2015 that one in ten measles-vaccinated individuals were at risk of measles because of the waning effectiveness of the measles vaccine. Because of this health authorities are now suggesting booster shots for measles.

Notable: Israeli AG preparing to indict Netanyahu on bribery charge this week.

Israeli AG Preparing to Indict Netanyahu On Bribery Charge This Week – Reports

The Israeli prime minister reportedly shortened his visit to Russia and will return to Israel tonight because of the reports of an indictment, per the Times of Israel.

The bribery scandal that's surrounded Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may finally reach a head, as Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit is poised to recommend bribery charges, according to Israeli media reports.

Citing Israel's Army Radio, the Times of Israel reported Wednesday that the attorney general is getting ready to file charges on Case 4000, which alleges that Netanyahu took regulatory steps to help Shaul Elovitch in exchange for the telecommunication mogul's news site, Walla, covering Netanyahu in a more favorable light.

Another scandal that's surrounded the prime minister is known as Case 1000, per Times of Israel; it's reportedly a more typical bribery case in which Netanyahu is alleged to have helped out billionaires politically as part of illicit quid pro quo deals for gifts worth about $282,000. In both of these investigations, Mandelblit is expected to urge the filing of an indictment of the prime minister.

However, it is unclear whether the attorney general will recommend any legal action with regard to Case 2000, which allegedly involved Netanyahu colluding with news site Yedioth Ahronoth to cripple a competing news publication, Israel Hayom, in order to extract more positive coverage from Yedioth. Haaretz has reported that US casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson poured at least $50 million into Israel Hayom, but that the company's financial documents are a "closely guarded secret."

An indictment has been anticipated since Mandelblit announced last December that he was going to be "working quickly" as he decided whether or not to bring charges against Netanyahu, according to a report by the Jerusalem Post.

Still, the attorney general has said that the pending cases against Netanyahu "would not be influenced by anything other than the evidence and the law."

Notable: When Everyone else was liquidating stocks, the world's biggest wealth fund was buying it all. (Norway)

When Everyone Else Was Liquidating Stocks, The World's Biggest Wealth Fund Was Buying It All

When most hedge funds were facing a surge in redemption requests at the end of 2018, creating a feedback loop of lower prices, liquidation selling, and even more redemption requests, which culminated with the S&P briefly sliding into a bear market on Dec 24, one fund was quietly buying.

At the end of 2018, when stocks suffered one of the biggest drops in years, Norway’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund - the world's biggest - was methodically buying what others were forcibly selling. Despite suffering a 6.1% drop in 2018, its first loss since 2011, the fund did what it does best, and bought some $22 billion in stocks, a "significant" buying spree which continued at the start of this year "to take advantage of a market rout" as it builds its global holdings.

"2018 was a year of contrasting growth expectations and apprehensions about effects of increased trade barriers,” said Yngve Slyngstad, the fund’s CEO. “Concern about economic growth mounted in the fourth quarter, inciting a further decline in equity prices, including in the U.S."

The Oslo-based fund, which is the world's single biggest investor holding a whopping 1.4% of all global stocks, remains largely at the mercy of markets when stocks tumble, and as such during sharp corrections it has few choice but to keep buying, although it has some leeway to stray from the indexes it follows. The fund has traditionally loaded up on stocks during selloffs. Not only that, but the fund is now also in the process of raising the share of stocks in its portfolio to 70% froim 66.3% at the end of 2018, to improve returns after struggling through years of rock-bottom rates.

As a result, the fund bought a “significant” amount of equities in January, Slyngstad said a press conference in Oslo, bringing the fund close to its 70% target. This means that, as Bloomberg calculates, the recent stock buying raid added roughly 3% to its equity portfolio.

In terms of specific purchases, the fund’s biggest equity investments in 2018 were the big three: Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet, while its largest bond holdings were U.S., Japanese and German government bonds. Judging by the continued appreciation in both stocks and bonds in 2019, the fund likely continued this trend.

Helping the buying spree with some fresh "dry powder", the Norwegian government deposited 34 billion kroner into the fund last year, after tumbling oil prices forced its first-ever withdrawals in 2016 and 2017.

Some more fund specifics: at the end of 2018, the world's largest sov wealth fund was invested in 73 countries and 50 currencies. Its exposure to Europe was 34.1%, down from 36.0% a year earlier, while its North American investment rose to 43.0% from 41.0%, while Asia and Oceania fell to 19.3% from 19.6%. Emerging markets accounted for 10.3%, up from 10.1%. It also had a total of 813 billion kroner invested in emerging markets, down from 876 billion a year earlier. Frontier market investments in equities were 21.8 billion kroner, up from 20.7 billion kroner at the end of 2017.

What is perhaps most remarkable about the fund is that its patient "buy and hold" strategy has generated impressive returns, and since 1998 the fund has generated an annual return of 5.5%, or 3.7 trillion kroner. As of December 2018, the fund had a total market value of $8.3 trillion kroner, or just under $1 trillion.

PG&E 'Bunduroo': Delayed Safety Work/Lawsuit/Stock action

PG&E : Delayed Safety Work on Power Line That Is Prime Suspect in California Wildfire

Plus Lawsuit announced for note holders

For five years, PG&E Corp. repeatedly delayed a safety overhaul of a century-old high-voltage transmission line that is a prime suspect behind the deadliest wildfire in California history.

The company told federal regulators in 2013 it planned to replace many of the towers, wires and hardware pieces on the line, called the Caribou-Palermo, regulatory filings show. It again proposed the project in 2014, 2015 and 2016 – pushing it back each year. The company planned to start work June 2018 and finish late last year. It hasn't begun.

On Nov. 8, 2018, winds picked up before sunrise near Paradise, Calif., when a wire snapped free from the Caribou-Palermo line, creating an electric arc that scorched the metal tower supporting it. A few minutes later, a PG&E worker spotted a quarter-acre fire under the line, the company has disclosed. Within hours, what became known as the Camp Fire destroyed Paradise and killed 85 people. California fire investigators haven't yet determined the fire's cause.

PG&E restarted the line following last November's fire after spot repairs, it said this week. The line underwent a close inspection in December, with linemen climbing some towers for the first time in years. The inspection uncovered additional problems, the company said, and it has shut down the entire line and has no estimate for when it will resume service.

7 Pharma Execs Testified Before The Senate On Drug Prices. Here’s How Many Millions They Make A Year

Five of the seven pharmaceutical companies who sent executives to testify on drug pricing before the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday have the top-25 highest paid pharma CEOs for companies in the S&P 500.

CEOs from AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck, Pfizer and Sanofi plus Johnson & Johnson’s executive vice president of pharmaceuticals, Jennifer Taubert, were grilled by Senate Finance Chair Chuck Grassley and other lawmakers at the hearing.

Altogether, the top-25 CEOs whose companies were represented Tuesday received a combined $116,671,792 in compensation, including stock and stock options, in 2017, according to analysis by The Wall Street Journal. That number includes annual compensation for former Pfizer CEO Ian Read, who ceded the position to new CEO Albert Bourla in January. Bourla testified before the committee Tuesday.

Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky rakes in the most out of the CEOs, with yearly compensation valued at $29,802,564, according to The WSJ. Taubert, who repped Johnson & Johnson and its pharmaceutical arm Janssen at Tuesday’s hearing, has no annual compensation data available according to Bloomberg. (RELATED: Grassley Reminds Pharma CEOs How Much Drug List Prices Matter During Hearing)

The runner-up is former Pfizer CEO Ian Read, who had yearly compensation of more than $27 million. He had agreed to delay implementing proposed prescription drug price increases after speaking with President Donald Trump in July. Trump told the company it should be “ashamed” of its price increases in a July 9 tweet.

The CEOs of Abbvie and Bristol-Myers Squibb round out the top 10 highest-paid executives on The WSJ’s list. AbbVie CEO Richard Gonzalez made more than $22 million in 2017, and Bristol-Myers Squibb CEO Giovanni Caforio made more than $18 million in 2017.

SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: How a Vatican portrait of child sex abuser Cardinal Pell links him to an ancient Catholic order frequented by British high society

It has suddenly become the most embarrassing painting in the Vatican. But the portrait of Cardinal Pell — unveiled in the Vatican just two and a half years ago — now threatens to engulf one of the oldest and grandest Catholic orders in controversy.

For I can disclose that the portrait of 77-year-old Pell, who has just been convicted of historic sex offences, was commissioned following a fundraising event in London held by the Knights of Malta, the Roman Catholic order founded more than 1,000 years ago to care for the poor and the sick.

The order’s senior officers have included some of the most eminent figures in society, including Field Marshal Lord Guthrie and the late Hugh van Cutsem, one of the Prince of Wales’s close friends.

Prince Rupert zu Loewenstein, who for decades managed the finances of The Rolling Stones, was the Order’s Chancellor.

Andrew Gow, who painted Pell, explains that the identity of the person, or persons, who commissioned the portrait is a confidential matter. But he confirms that the commission arose following a Knights of Malta annual London fundraiser.

‘I partly donated an unrelated portrait,’ Gow tells me, ‘and the people who bought the portrait then asked me to do something much more elaborate.

I was in Italy painting with some other clients at the time, so I wasn’t at the fundraiser,’ adds Gow, who has painted several royals and aristocrats.

The portrait was completed while Pell, a former adviser to Pope Francis, was installed in ‘large and grand offices, two corridors from the Sistine Chapel’, and was unveiled there in 2016 to commemorate his inauguration as one of the Vatican’s most senior figures, Prefect of Secretariat for the Economy.

Gow, who has been ‘absolutely shocked’ to learn of Pell’s past, explains that his portrait indelibly connects its subject to the Knights of Malta. ‘He’s a Bailiff Grand Cross of the Knights of Malta, that’s the decoration around his neck.’

Lawmakers seek 'urgent briefing' on U.S. arms in hands of al Qaeda

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is demanding answers from the Trump administration about reports that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates may have transferred American-made weapons to al Qaeda-linked extremist groups in Yemen.

Led by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, New York Democrat, the lawmakers called on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan to hold an “urgent briefing” on details of the suspected arms transfer, first reported by CNN.

“These unauthorized transfers of U.S. equipment and weapons by the Saudi and UAE governments represent a clear national security risk to the U.S. and our interests and a serious violation of existing bilateral agreements pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act,” the lawmakers wrote.

The investigation detailed efforts by Saudi Arabia and the UAE to make unauthorized transfers of U.S. weapons and equipment to extremist groups fighting in Yemen including the Abu Abbas Brigade which is connected to al Qaeda in the region, and Alwiyat al-Aamlga, also known as the “Giants Brigade,” in an effort to gain influence in the brutal Yemeni civil war.

CNN also reported that the Saudi military may have airdropped U.S.-made anti-tank missiles in the same area that al Qaeda was operating.

“The evident failure to protect sensitive U.S. military technology may enable our adversaries in Yemen and across the Middle East to advance and develop weapons capable of penetrating mine and IED-resistant vehicles as well as jam or otherwise counter U.S. communications technologies aboard such vehicles,” lawmakers warned in the letter.

Observers of the conflict in Yemen say it has produced massive civilian casualties, displaced 3 million Yemenis and sparked what aid groups call the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.

California bill to end alleged LGBT discrimination on sex offender list stirs controversy

A new state bill in California that seeks to change the way some convicted criminals are put on the sex offender registry list is sparking controversy, with some Republicans in the Golden State claiming it would shield sexual predators.

The goal of the legislation, according to California state Sen. Scott Wiener, is to bring parity to the laws governing who has to register as a sex offender in the state and to end discrimination in the courts against LGBT people.

The current law states that while consensual sex between a 15- to 17-year-old and a partner within 10 years of age is illegal, if the pair is having vaginal intercourse, a judge will decide if the accused has to register as a sex offender. Other forms of sex automatically require someone to register as a sex offender.

HOW A MINOR CHANGE IN CALIFORNIA'S ELECTION LAW MAY HAVE DOOMED REPUBLICANS' CHANCES

The law is based on a California Supreme Court ruling that says it is not discriminatory to treat vaginal intercourse and other forms of sex differently and for harsher penalties to be implemented for the latter because the former can cause pregnancy while the others cannot.

The California lawmaker's office said that the law would result in the equal treatment of straight and LGBT young people and end the discrimination against young LGBT people engaged in consensual sexual activity.

"The judge would have discretion in these cases as to whether or not to place someone on the sex offender registry," Victor Ruiz-Cornejo, Wiener's communication's director, said in an email to Fox News. "While it is most often LGBT young people that are impacted, the bill itself brings parity to the way we treat sexual acts."

ANALYSIS: CALIFORNIA POLITICS WILL GET CRAZY IN 2019. WHAT'S THE SILVER LINING FOR THE GOP?

Republican lawmakers in California have come out strongly against the legislation – saying that the bill would allow sexual predators to lure minors to have sex with them without fear of having to register as a sex offender if caught.

“The language of the bill states that if a predator is not more than 10 years older than the minor, he or she would have an opportunity to avoid registering as a sex offender,” Republican state Sen. Mike Morrell said in a statement to Fox News. “This proposed legislation would place our children at risk. The bill is wrong and it is immoral.”

Indian Air Force Used Israeli-Made Heavy Guided Bombs In Its Attack On Pakistan

The Indian Air Force (IAF) used Israeli-made Spicie-2000 heavy guided bombs in its attack on an alleged camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ThePrint reported on February 26 citing senior military sources.

The airstrike came in response to a suicide bombing in India-controlled Kashmir on February 14 that killed 40 Indian soldiers and injured many others.

According to the Indian outlet, five Mirage 2000s carried out the airstrike on the alleged camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed. A number of Su-30 MKIs, a mid-air tanker and two Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) also participated in the aerial attack that took place in the early hours of February 26.

The Spicie-2000 is guided by an internal navigation system (INS) combined with GPS. The bomb also uses an advanced electro-optical seeker with digital seen matching area correlator (DSMAC) technology to achieve pinpoint accuracy. Despite its heavy 1,000kg warhead, the glide bomb has a range of more than 60km, which give it the capability to strike high-risk targets from a stand-off distance.

The IAF’s initial plan was use the Spicie-2000’s stand-off capability to strike the alleged camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed without violating Pakistan’s airspace. However, strong wend from the west to the east forced the Indian Mirage 2000s to penetrate 10km deep within Pakistan before releasing their bombs, as one military source told ThePrint.

India claims that the airstrike destroyed six barracks within the alleged camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed and killed more than 350 member of the armed group. However, Pakistan insists that the attack didn’t result in any casualties or notable damage.

The Indian attack led to a serious escalation. On February 27, Pakistan said that the Pakistani Air Force had shot down two IAF warplanes. In turn, the Indian side confirmed that it had lost one jet claimed that one Pakistani warplane had been shot down.

However, according to experts, it is unlikely that the situation will lead to an open hot war between the states.

NHS Child Sex Change Clinic Chief Resigns After Damning Report

A governor of the NHS trust in charge of England’s flagship child sex change clinic has resigned in protest amidst allegations it was “fast-tracking” young people into gender reassignment as a result of pressure from “highly politicised” LGBT campaigners.

Breaking off a 35-year-long association with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, Marcus Evans quit after it dismissed an internal report branding its Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) “not fit for purpose”.

“Adolescence and childhood is a time when people are developing socially and biologically — a time when young people are identifying with different groups, and with male and female aspects of themselves,” Mr Evans told the BBC’s Today programme Monday.

“There is pressure from the child who is in a distressed state, there is pressure from the family and the peer group and from the pro-trans lobbies — and all of this puts pressure on the clinician who may want to help the individual to resolve their distressed state by going along with a quick solution.

“There is a lot at stake here as these decisions have far reaching consequences,” the consultant psychotherapist warned, speaking after he told the Sunday Times that GIDS was trying to “dismiss or undermine” concerns raised by its own medical staff in a leaked review compiled late last year.

Dr David Bell, who drew up the report, warned children were at risk of “long-term damage” as a result of the NHS clinic’s “inability to stand up to pressure” from transgender activist groups such as Mermaids UK, which has been criticised for false claims that delaying gender-bending medical treatments which have irreversible effects on young patients’ fertility causes gender-confused youths to commit suicide.

Staff governor at the time of compiling the report, Dr Bell said clinicians felt children were being put onto life-changing drugs without sufficient assessment of the role played by their personal histories and by wider psychosocial issues in patients’ gender dysphoria.

Noting that some youths view gender reassignment as a “solution” to “multiple problems such as historic child abuse in the family, bereavement… homophobia and a very significant incidence of autism spectrum disorder”, and the observation that children seemed to have been “coached” online and by activist groups, the report’s warnings also echoed worried voiced by other professionals who work with young people.

After a review into the respected consultant psychiatrist’s findings by Tavistock and Portman’s medical director, Dinesh Sinha, said the clinic was “safe and operating in line with the best care in this field internationally” the NHS trust issued a statement attacking claims in the leaked report as “unsubstantiated” and alleging Dr Bell had “no expertise in this field”.

As Media Freaks Over 159 Measles Cases, Thousands of Kids Sold as Sex Slaves Out of Foster Care

As the mainstream media continues to refer to 159 cases of measles as an epidemic, they are ignoring and complicit in covering for a very real epidemic of child trafficking.

If ever you needed a clearer example of the mainstream media’s intentions in this country, you just need compare the amount of coverage given to the 2019 measles non-crisis—used to bolster vaccine manufacturers’ bottom lines while calling for the silencing of those who advocate for vaccine safety—versus the 18,000 children who will go missing from government run “protection care” this year—many of whom will be sold into sex slavery.

As the Google trend analysis below shows, the former received a ridiculous amount of coverage while the latter received almost zero.

Unless you’ve been under a rock lately, you’ve probably noticed the utter hysteria over the measles “epidemic” being shoved down the collective throats of America.

If one were to unquestioningly buy into said hysteria you’d think a deadly epidemic is sweeping the nation and children are dropping dead left and right. But that’s simply not true and the reality is there is no epidemic and no one has died.

According to the current numbers from the CDC, there have been just 159 people in the country to report contracting the measles in 10 states.

As a result of the hysterical coverage, however, a widespread war on those who advocate for informed consent has been waged.

For a few dozens cases of measles, Washington declared a state of emergency and media coverage has been devoted round the clock.

To reiterate, as of February 21, 2019, there were only 159 cases of measles confirmed in the entire country, prompting hysteria. But when 18,000 kids a year go missing, many of them being sold into sex slavery, we hear nothing but crickets from these same people.

It is true that some of these kids will run away, others will escape to get away from abuse, and some will get involved with the wrong crowd and follow along. However, many others are outright stolen or kidnapped and end up being sold on the black market like a commodity.

Should I go nuclear on @MichaelCohen212? Who I know from years ago and who tried to approach me last summer to help “change the narrative” (also known as LIE) about the President?

Because I’m thinking I should. This coward plotted this entire “racist” lie to save himself.

YouTube Deplatforms Retired Navy SEAL Who Exposed Tribal Elder Nathan Phillips' Stolen Valor

YouTube last week deplatformed a YouTube channel that specialized in exposing Stolen Valor cases. "Stolen Valor," of course, refers to cases where dishonorable pretenders are caught making fraudulent claims of military honors they didn't earn. Retired Navy Seal Don Shipley has made it his life's mission to expose these shameless charlatans. His channel had 232,806 subscribers at the time it was taken down and had been in operation since around 2008.

He told PJ Media that he thinks his channel was taken down because he had "outed Nathan Phillips," who had "masqueraded as a Vietnam vet."

.@YouTube @TeamYouTube

Your ongoing viewpoint discrimination against the Right is wrong & un-America

But taking down the channel of #DonShipley who exposes #StolenValor military poseurs is disgraceful

Shipley confirmed that he'd been "booted off YouTube" in a post on his "Extreme SEAL Adventures" Facebook page on February 21.

Exclusive: House panel seeks to depose Trump tax, ethics attorneys

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. House panel investigating President Donald Trump wants to depose Trump’s long-time tax lawyer Sheri Dillon, as well as Stefan Passantino, former deputy White House Counsel in charge of compliance and ethics, according to letters sent to both of them on Wednesday and seen by Reuters. House of Representatives Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, a Democrat, said in the letters that the panel wants to ask about Trump’s legally mandated financial ethics disclosures. The panel, the letters said, also seeks information about payments made before the 2016 presidential election by former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen to buy the silence of women who claimed they had affairs with the married Trump. Neither Dillon nor Passantino responded immediately to requests for comment. The White House also did not immediately have a comment.

The letters, sent hours before Cohen was set to testify to the committee about his work for Trump, signals a widening of its investigation into Trump’s personal finances. Dillon has a deep understanding of the president’s tax filings. Breaking with decades of presidential tradition, Trump has refused to make his tax returns public, leading other Democrats in Congress also to seek them. The letter did not indicate the committee would question Dillon about Trump’s tax returns. The Cummings letters targets a 92-page ethics disclosure form that Trump filed in May 2018. It said he repaid Cohen in 2017 for a $130,000 payment made weeks before the November 2016 election to porn actress Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, to silence her over an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.

A June 2017 disclosure filed by Trump did not list a debt owed to Cohen. Some critics of the president have said this omission amounted to filing a false report, a federal crime. In the letters to Dillon and Passantino, Cummings wrote that interviews with them “will address issues related to President Donald Trump’s financial disclosure reporting and the reimbursement of Michael Cohen for payments to silence women alleging affairs before the 2016 election.” He added that, to accommodate committee Republicans’ concerns, Dillon and Passantino would be able to provide “a first-hand account of your interactions with the Office of Government Ethics.” Passantino’s signature appeared on the 2018 disclosure filing, confirming that he concluded Trump was “in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.” Passantino, summoned to appear on March 18, is now a legal adviser to the Trump Organization, the president’s business.

Dillon, summoned to appear on March 19, is a partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. She detailed Trump’s business investments at a press conference in 2016 shortly after he was elected and would likely have helped prepare the ethics disclosure, which provides an account of his business holdings.

Nigeria’s president Buhari has been re-elected for a second term

Three days after presidential elections held on Feb. 23, results announced by INEC, Nigeria’s electoral commission, confirm president Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been re-elected.

Buhari fulfilled both criteria for winning the presidency, scoring a majority of the vote as well as over 25% of votes cast in 24 of Nigeria’s 36 states. Buhari defeated main challenger, former vice president Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to emerge winner with 56% of the vote.

For its part, PDP has already rejected the results, alleging electoral malpractice. As further proof of the dominance of APC and PDP, Nigeria’s two biggest political parties, third party candidates collectively won just over a million votes nationwide.

Pakistani leader calls for talks after 2 Indian warplanes shot down, pilot captured

Muzaffarabad, Pakistan – Pakistan's air force shot down two Indian warplanes after they crossed the boundary between the two rivals in the disputed territory of Kashmir on Wednesday and captured an Indian pilot, Pakistani officials said. The dramatic escalation came only hours after Pakistan said mortar shells fired by Indian troops from across the frontier dividing the two sectors of Kashmir killed six civilians and wounded several others. But Pakistan's leader urged calm and called for dialogue on Wednesday, appearing keen to put the brakes on the snowballing tension between the nuclear armed neighbors.

MAJOR: Iran Apprehends Eight Al-Qaeda Suspects for Attack on IRGC Forces

TEHRAN – Eight people have been arrested so far in connection with the terrorist attack that took place in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, said the head of the Provincial Justice Department of Sistan-Baluchestan Province.

A suicide attack on a bus, carrying Islamic Republic Guard Corps (IRGC) personnel, martyred 27 and wounded 13 in southeastern Iran on February 12th. A terrorist group so-called Jaish al-Adl, affiliated to Al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the incident.

Ibrahim Hamidi said that one of the detainees who is the owner of the exploded car is a woman that was arrested based on solid evidence.

‘When examining her house, parts of the exploded car were found,’ he noted.

He added that as soon as the court verdict is issued, it will be announced publicly

T-Mobile delays 5G network launch until the second half of the year, report

T-Mobile users may need to wait a little longer for 5G than those on AT&T, Sprint or Verizon.

In an interview with CNET Monday, T-Mobile chief technology officer Neville Ray said that his company will be pushing off the launch of its 5G network to the second half of 2019 as it waits for a phone that is better equipped to work with the company’s lower band wireless spectrum.

At the industry MWC tradeshow in Barcelona last year the company said it was working to build out its network across 30 cities with a plan to start shipping its first 5G devices in “early 2019.”

New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Las Vegas were previously announced to be getting the new network first.

The news of the T-Mobile delay comes on the same day that Sprint announced it would be turning on its own 5G network in Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta and Dallas in May, with five other cities still on track to have 5G during the first half of 2019.
